Dad was diagnosed with leukemia on Thursday, June 2 after a checkup and blood tests with his doctor. After a few days we learned that he had a form of AML leukemia which would require chemotherapy treatment. The plan is to treat the cancer for 4 to 6 weeks before a possible bone marrow transplant. Dad is in an isolated wing at Sanford for a few weeks. He cannot have accept any flowers, plants, or fresh fruits and vegetables due his risk of infections. As his white blood cell count continues to drop, Dad will also need to limit the number of visitors over the next few weeks. Thanks for the support!
